Nice, I like that...as I lover of all things Ti, very nice.I put some new tubeless wheels on.
First long ride (well long for me) with new wheels, had a stop for a much and stretch the legs after 35km or so into a headwind... ready for the tailwind into the hills on the way home

There's a lot of love for this bike and yes, those wheels are pimpin(I am a Mavic fan boy) but this bike needs Dura-Ace. It demands it. Or Super Record.Nice, I like that...as I lover of all things Ti, very nice.

HAHA.
So I'm not the only one that thinks Ultegra cranks are ghastly? haha, although Dura-Ace aren't the prettiest around either.
The Look ZED 2 carbon cranks are what you need me thinks
Oh that's so nice.
Weighs in at 9.95 kgs. Shitloads more comfortable and feels waaay more planted cornering. Cost a little under 2k to build up.
I was pricing up a build yesterday on the smoothie. I've already got a doublecross to match.
More in depth review? What size is that? What's the spec to get it to that weight?

To me it's a road bike, their isn't much to say about it. It's heavier and more comfortable than any carbon bike, doesn't feel like it can suddenly get pulled from under you. Makes me question why people would want to ride anything under 7kgs. Guy I work with has one as well, it's up to 13 kgs in weight! All we do is just try and make it heavier.
Frame size is 56. Have a short torso and used to riding small framed bikes, the stem will slowly drop a spacer or two over the next month once I remember how to ride road.
Chromo fork, Chris King headset I picked up for $100 brand new.
Full Ultegra groupo. Would have gone 105, but not having the ability to just change chain-rings to go from compact to normal made me get Ultegra.
Wheels are H+ Sons Archtypes, DT Comps to Ultegra hubs.
Cheap FSA Gossamer stem/post/bars. I've have the same handlebar on 3 fixies and 2 roadies now.

Next thread 'Post your Speedos'Thought I'd jump in with my race machine.
Has taken me through a couple of 70.3's in Port Mac. Needs a new saddle and a bit of a clean, and the 'zipps' are just cheapies with stickers, but she's good enough for me.
Just for you
I considered a photo of them on, but they're scary enough as they are

Very nice bike.
I have to admit my personal preference is not for black, but it does look stealth.
I like it a lot.

Gloss black is fine. Matte black (with sections of matte white...) is something you need to think hard about before buying - its a bitch to keep clean...

True enough, gloss black is better than matte.
But my preference is still for something with more colour. Just a preference.

You've not had a bitch to clean until you've had matte baby blue, matte orange and matte white on one bike...
I look at my TCX funny and it's dirty.

It's meant to be dirty and I think you may be in the deep end of the ocd pool as far as cleaning goes.
